When Healing Began

There is a specific point in history which, I believe, was the genesis of the possibility of all true, lasting healing.

As I write this, I, along with millions of people from around the world, commemorate a particular weekend in history.

I am referring to when Reality changed in a fundamental way.

When the Light that is the Source of all things absorbed darkness, and then conquered it.

“In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. He was in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. Life itself was in him, and this life gives light to everyone. The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” (John 1:1-5)

It turns out the Light was not just a force, but a Person. A Person who was born at a particular time, in a particular place, of a particular race. A Person who lived for 33 years, had a public ministry for 3 years, and fulfilled the mission he came to accomplish in 3 days.

Two events accomplished everything the Word, the Light, the Son of God (for such was his identity–he was a Son in relationship to the Father, his identity was in the relationship) set out to do.

He had one mission–to die. This was his calling, and he did not shrink from it. The historical records of his life, the Gospels, spell out very clearly that his crucifixion did not catch him by surprise. Though at the last minute he begged the Father to provide another way, there was no other way, and he accepted that.

His death had one purpose: “It was our sicknesses he carried; it was our diseases that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God for his own sins! But he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we are healed! All of us have strayed like sheep. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the guilt and sins of us all.” (Isaiah 53:4-6)

This healing is not just for the next life, but for NOW. When Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross, he absorbed all our sins, all our sicknesses, upon himself.

That’s not the end of the story, either. Because he not only absorbed our darkness and died in our place, he rose from the dead and thus, conquered death and everything that leads up to death–sin, brokenness, illness.

This isn’t just religious dogma. If Jesus really did rise from the dead (and there is much historical evidence that he did, including the many eye-witnesses of the resurrection who gave up their lives rather than deny the amazing news they knew to be true)–if this is true, then it is quite the monumental event of history.

It is in a category by itself. A human being rising from the dead–a human being who claimed also to be God!

In dying, he took on the penalty (consequence) for our not-choosing-grace, our rejection of Reality.

In rising, he changed everything.

Now we can be healed. We can come to that cross, and ask for the Great Exchange to take place.

Our brokenness for his healing.

That is grace. That is the underlying power that makes The Healing Codes or any other healing modality work. Reality was changed 2000 years ago.

And we don’t ever have to remain the same. We don’t have to remain in twisted reality, in darkness.

Step into the Light, and be healed.

More than that, be transformed.
